NI LabVIEW and NI DAQ interface between radio (from NI's Facebook wall)

[SocialSupport]

LabVIEW support community we need your help.

We found this question from Jaja on our Facebook page. We feel her question might warrant ample discussion so we have pointed her here to the forums and created this thread for her. Is there anyone who can advise Jaja on her project here on this forum thread?

Yours truly,

Hi there,

How does the radio connect to your computer? Is it through a serial connection? Do you have a manual for the radio that you could post a link to so I can see what kind of communication protocol it uses?

Thanks!

Hi,

I use NI USB 6008 to get the voltage from the radio then it will convert to frequency signal (simulation in LabVIEW) . Anyway, when I connect the NI USB 6008 to my computer, it can't be detected and I can't fint DAQ Assistant in the Labview .. I'm using Labview 2011 (trial version)

Did you install the driver? Its called DAQmx. Click the support link at the top of the page.

[Fadzalina]

I've done that yesterday. And why I can't find DAQ Assistant icon in the Palette function even I've connected the DAQ.

Is the device recognized by the windows device manager? What about Measurement & Automation Explorer? What version of DAQmx? What is your OS?

[Fadzalina]

After I installed SignalExpress,the drivers and all of it, the device is recognized. 

Im using DAQmx 9.3. It is compatible with the Labview version that I used now? I'm using Windows 7

[Dennis_Knutson]

I think you need version 9.4.

Another question, when I open SignalExpress , I can't load my VI.

How to overcome with it?
